Poles is a very interesting release by Factory of Dreams . It consists of Gothic Electronic and Progressive Rock music that should appeal to fans of Ayreon, Arena and other groups of that genre.

The music is fronted by an operatic style female singer named Jessica Letho, that kind of reminds me of Kate Bush in her weider and more intense moments. The music is keyboard heavy, with very nice electric guitars. The pieces are well written and performed and often feature some heavy mechanical drums that make me think of a hammer slamming on a metal sheet.

The mood of the music on Poles is dark, strange and even horific at times. I can't say that it is my cup of tea, but I am convinced that it will appeal to fans of the genre, because this is original and creative music done by very talented people.

For what it is, Poles comes highly recommended.
